| USB 2.0 devices like your PNY flash drive are *supposed* to be
backward-compatible
| with USB 1.1 ports. The drivers were probably just not working on your
system for
| some reason. One of my flash drives is a Memorex and I could never get
the
| downloaded 98SE drivers to install correctly either at work or at home,
despite the
| fact that others reported not having a problem with them on their systems.
I
| installed a generic USB driver after uninstalling all my other flash drive
drivers,
| and now all the flash drives I use are recognised right away, using that
one driver.

|
| On your older system you would do best with the 2.x version of the driver
(the
| installation of which is described in the middle of the page), the newest
in English
| being version 2.4:

|
| Something to consider if you ever need to use that PNY flash drive with
this older
| system.
|
| Glad you got the ports working!
